TBT: Valentino’s Autumnal Collection Asks Men to Rethink Pink

 

To celebrate the launch of Valentino’s winter wear at The Landmark in Hong Kong, the fashion house went for an explosion of hot pink for the cool climate.

 

The latest autumn/winter collection from the resident Creative Director at Valentino, Pierpaolo Piccioli, was shot a few months ago with Lewis Hamilton decked neck to toe in hot pink. The famed race car driver’s campaign shots went viral early on (there are no secrets in the age of social media) and suddenly stylish men of note seemed to have embraced the colour without hesitation. It appeared in music videos, on the red carpet, lord, even men in finance suddenly had a tie and lapel in that highlighter hue.

Best Dressed at the Golden Globes 2019: Julia Roberts, Gemma Chan and Timothee Chalamet top the list

Star Power

 

Eternal Favourite: Julia Roberts

What? Awards season kicked off in great style as the stars of Hollywood walked the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton for the 76th Golden Globes. Exactly a year after the genesis of the #metoo movement that saw almost every star wear black, it was business as usual as nominees and presenters alike embraced every hue for a return to classic glamour. 

Boys on the side: In truth, rarely do men hog the fashion limelight as most wear standard – albeit designer – tuxedos; old favourites like Armani, Tom Ford, Berluti and Gucci. The millennials stood out with a few daring sartorial selects: Timothée Chalamet in Louis Vuitton (and Cartier jewellery!), Troye Sivan in a Prussian blue tuxedo by Calvin Klein, and winners Darren Criss in Dior Homme and Ben Whishaw in crystal-embellished Alexander McQueen. 

Gowns and glory: There wasn’t a single what-the-f…ashion moment as nearly all the ladies looked their elegant best. The standouts included Lady Gaga – of course – in periwinkle Valentino and two assistants in tow to carry her lengthy train. Host, and winner, Sandra Oh donned three different outfits, two Versace and one Stella McCartney. And the rest you can see here, some with the best accessory of the night: their very own Golden Globe.
